I was swanning aroun the environs of The Regents Canal yesterday and there was a man walking a small terrier..looked a bit like this

and it was making the most horrrible sound - instead of barking, it made this bizarre low croaking sound...really loud, like crarrrrrr! Grrr..Crarrr! - sounded horrible.

It just had a sore throat didn't it? It's going to have some Dog Strepsils and be ok isn't it?
